With a little help from Homeland Security, work around here comes to a slow grind as Fernando flies off to Texas to sign paperwork. He’s been working on the long, complicated process of getting his mother into the country for a visit, this trip hopefully being the final straw.
I wish I could say I knew more about national security, but no, like so many other things, I’m completely in the dark. But I do hope to meet my friend’s 80 year old Hispanic mother. Maybe they’ll invite me over for dinner and she’ll make the fresh tortillas that Fernando talks about.
